New Products and Announcements

EXPANDED PETROCHEMICAL OIL SPECTROSTANDARD® PRODUCT LINE

Expanded SpectroCertified® petrochemical standards now include complete sets in addition to individual units. SpectroStandard® Sulfur in mineral oil, diesel and synthetic fuel matrices and metals; multi-element wear metals; diluted and concentrated single element organo-metallic standards in oil and lubricating oil additive matrices; residual oil standards; chlorine in waste oils; low sulfur formulations. NIST, ASTM, EPA and CAN/GS conforming where applicable.

POLYETHYLENE AND POLYVINYL CHLORIDE SPECTROSTANDARD® POLYMERS

Powdered and 32 mm or 40 mm diameter solid disc PE and PVC polymers are available for RoHS/WHEE compliance analysis. Polyethylene (PE) standards contain: Br, Cd, Cr, Hg and Pb. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) standards contain: Br, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Ca and Cl. Includes Quality Control Standards. The discs are integrated with Chemplex XRF Sample Cups, Cat. No: 1330 (32 mm) and 1340 (40 mm).

RoHS COMPLIANT XRF SAMPLE CUPS AND THIN-FILM SAMPLE SUPPORTS

Chemplex has adopted the illustrated symbol to indicate compliance of its XRF Sample Cups and Thin-Film Window products in accordance with the European Council Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), Restriction of Hazardous Substances.

SpectroMicro™ SAMPLE CUPS AVAILABLE IN ASSORTED APERTURE SIZES

Choose the right size volume sample cup to sample quantity. Accommodate limited or rare sample amounts. Maximize sample density exposure area. Eliminate “masking” techniques. "Flush-fitting" thin-film window planes maintain sample-to-target and sample-to-detector distances. Integrated filling funnel guides and centralizes sample on thin-film window. Available with 6, 10, 15 and 20 mm apertures. Usable with all 32 mm diameter sample holders.

Expanded Automatic 30 Ton SpectroPress® Product Line

The Automatic SpectroPress product line has been expanded to include a model that self-centers and self-aligns 32, 35, 40 and 45 mm diameter evacuable stainless steel dies. A spindle with a knurled knob enables acceptance of variable die heights and permits easy ejection of the formed XRF sample pellet.

Both models, Cat. No. 4325 and 4335, boast simplicity and rapidity of use through two momentary push button controls. The “Up” button drives the ram upward for briquette formation and the “Down” button decompresses for briquette ejection procedures. An analog gauge indicates both tons and PSI in one ton and 50 PSI increments, respectively. Small, compact size for counter operation and sturdily built for repeated daily use. All models include an interior lighted sample chamber for better visibility.

XRF SAMPLE CUPS HAVE INTEGRATED THIN-FILM TRIMMERS

The troublesome procedure of trimming away extraneous thin-film is completely averted by using sample cups integrated with a Serrated Edge Thin-Film Trimming feature. Annoying thin-film clippings that tend to statically cling to everything are no longer an issue by using “Snap-On Ring” Thin-Film Assembly XRF Sample Cups. Simply tear away the thin-film from the assembled sample cup; trimming is close up to the cell.

Also, for users of Microporous Film with the 1500 Series XRF Sample Cups the NEW Integrated Thin-Film Trimmer will prove to be invaluable in trimming away the excess material.

XRF SAMPLE CUPS HAVE INTERNAL OVERFLOW RESERVOIRS

Conventional XRF Sample Cups equipped with overflow reservoirs are generally on the exterior tops. This may tend to inadvertently overflow into the sample chamber during analysis of thermally sensitive sample solutions or through handling. Now, the NEW 2100 Series XRF Sample Cups have internal Overflow Reservoirs. Any extraneous sample solutions collect within the sample cup completely eliminating spillages and clean up of the sample chamber. The Internal Overflow Reservoir also serves as a fill limit in introducing the sample into the sample cup.

NEW XRF SAMPLE CUPS FOR BRUKER AUTOMATIC S2 INSTRUMENTS

The 2100 Series XRF Sample Cups have been expanded for use with Bruker automatic S2 instruments with XFLASH® detectors. The new sample cup is assigned Cat. No. 2143. It incorporates all of the features of the 2140 designed for Bruker manual S2 and S4 instruments; integrated internal overflow reservoir, a snap-on cap and a thin-film window attachment sleeve.

XRF SAMPLE CUPS FOR HORIBA SLFA-20 MODELS

The Trimless 1000 Series XRF Sample Cups have been increased for accommodation by the Horiba SLFA 20 instruments and other Horiba single sample analyzers newer than SLFA-920 series. This NEW XRF Sample Cup is designated Cat. No. 1083.

NEW ETNOM™ THIN-FILM IS WIDELY ACCEPTED

The recent introduction of Etnom™, a NEW Thin-Film Sample Support Material, has been widely acclaimed and accepted as choice for analyzing aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly diesel fuel and gasoline. The substance is noteworthy for its chemical and softening resistance and increase in intensities especially for the long wavelength (lower KeV energy) spectral lines. Etnom is available in SpectroMembrane® Sample Support Carrier Frames for convenience in handling, avoidance of troublesome static electrical charges and cross contamination issues.
